Digital distributor comiXology has lifted the lid on its exclusive series Moon Girl.

Available for iPhone and iPod Touch devices through the firm's Comics app, the digital comic is written by Johnny Zito and Tony Trov, who have formerly worked on Zuda Comics' Black Cherry Bombshells and LaMorte Sisters.

As the duo have previously collaborated on horror comics, Moon Girl marks their first superhero venture. "Superheroes are tricky," Zito told CBR. "We find they work best when recontextualised to the 1940s to 1960s.

"We took a lot of inspiration from Justice League: New Frontier and Marvels. Moon Girl is based on a Golden Age superhero created by Gardner Fox for EC Comics in the 1940s. The copyright has slipped into public domain so we started there."

Trov added: "It's The Dark Knight meets Mad Men. Clare is a Russian princess exiled to New York. When enemies from the past threaten her new life, the repressed warrior queen fights back. The media catches wind of her nocturnal crusade and christen her Moon Girl."

Moon Girl is available via Comics by comiXology at $0.99 (60p) per issue.
